Wstępne badania dotyczące zróżnicowania ekspresji receptorów kortykotropiny w gruczolakach nadnerczy [PDF]
, 2017 Introduction: The ACTH receptor (ACTHR) is primarily expressed in the adrenal cortex. Previous studies focused on the regulatory function of ACTHR in glucocorticoid secretion, but research on adrenal tumours is rare. The aim of this study was to evaluate

The effects of two progestins and 17α-ethinylestradiol on cultured hepatocyte spheroids of brown trout (salmo trutta) [PDF]
, 2022 Progestins are classified as emerging micropollutants in freshwater ecosystems. The concentrations of this class of contaminants in water have been increasing, since they are of anthropogenic origin and their use in human and veterinary medicine is in ...

Analyzing the Interaction Between Melanocortin 5 Receptor, Melanocortin Receptor Accessory Protein 1, and Melanocortin 2 Receptor in Rainbow Trout [PDF]
, 2012 Using CHO cells we sought to explore and characterize the functional relationship of rainbow trout MC5 receptor (rtMC5R) with zebrafish MRAP1 (zfMRAP1) and rainbow trout MC2 receptor (rtMC2R), as well as how the effect of such relationships may play a ...

Genome-wide association study provides insights into genes related with horn development in Nelore beef cattle. [PDF]
, 2018 The causal mutation for polledness in Nelore (Bos taurus indicus) breed seems to have appeared first in Brazil in 1957. The expression of the polled trait is known to be ruled by a few groups of alleles in taurine breeds; however, the genetic basis of ...

Impact of Cadmium On The Hypothalamus-Pituitary-Interrenal Axis Function in Rainbow Trout [PDF]
, 2013 Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential metal present in sublethal concentrations within the aquatic environment. Cd is an endocrine disruptor and high concentrations of this metal suppress stressor-induced cortisol production in fish.

Evaluating the Interaction Between the Human Melanocortin-2 Receptor and the Accessory Protein, Mrap1: Chimeric Receptor and Alanine Substitution Studies on Transmembrane Domain 4, Extracellular Loop 2, and Transmembrane Domain 5 [PDF]
, 2018 The melanocortin-2 receptor (MC2R) is the most complex due to its trafficking and ligand selectivity requirements for proper activation. The MC2R requires the melanocortin receptor accessory protein-1 (MRAP1) for proper trafficking and activation of the ...

Stress-resilience differences related to emergence time in rainbow trout [PDF]
, 2016 In wild salmonid fish, individual behavioural traits have been suggested to be coupled with the timing of fry emergence form gravel spawning nests, in such a way that early emerging fish have shown to be more aggressive and to have a higher probability ...

Multiple drawing multi-colour urns by stochastic approximation [PDF]
, 2018 A classical Pólya urn scheme is a Markov process where the evolution is encoded by a replacement matrix (Ri, j)1 ≤ i, j ≤ d. At every discrete time-step, we draw a ball uniformly at random, denote its colour c, and replace it in the urn together with Rc,
